Senator Marco tells The Brody File that evangelical Christians have been critical to the immigration reform process saying, “I think the biggest change hasn’t been in the pulpit. It’s been in the pews.” Rubio also says biblical compassion must be on display. “Our faith has always been about compassion and it compels you to do something, Rubio says. “If you took compassion or the principle of compassion out of the Bible, it would be in tatters because it’s all over the place.”

Senator Marco Rubio: “I think the biggest change hasn’t been in the pulpit. It’s been in the pews. The folks who are attending church who maybe five years ago felt differently about this issue now they’re worshipping next to an illegal immigrant family, now they’ve met someone who’s in the circumstance so it’s one thing is when eleven million is a statistic. The other thing is when one of those eleven million is your friend, a human being you now know.”

Senator Marco Rubio: “Our faith has always been about compassion and it compels you to do something. Now, we have an obligation to be responsible to our country and not do anything that hurts America but also our faith calls us to compassion. If you took compassion or the principle of compassion out of the Bible, it would be in tatters because it’s all over the place.”
